Greetings!

MESSAGE FROM CHAIR

The semester is just about over and many of us are about to take off to the field for a summer of teaching and research -- locally and abroad. Enclosed you will read about many of the wonderful achievements by our faculty, making an impact on the profession and our communities. For instance, Professor Thurka Sangaramoorthy’s research on Black women living with HIV was featured in an article in the Washington Post, among other media outlets. Professor Christina Getrich’s new book focuses on the children of Mexican immigrants navigating U.S. society, laws, and politics critically examines U.S. immigration policies. Professor Andrea Lopez’s research team is working on the Statewide Ethnographic Assessment of Drug Use and Services Project (SEADS). Professor Stephen Brighton has been appointed to serve as a representative on the Maryland Governor's Advisory Committee on Archaeology. And congratulations to Professor Kathryn Lafrenz Samuels for being promoted to Associate Professor with tenure.

Our graduate students continue to be recognized for their outstanding achievements. Samantha Primiano was selected for the Graduate School’s Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award for AY 2018-19. Kyla Cools won the University wide 3 Minute Thesis contest. And Ellen Platts was awarded the Valene Smith Poster Prize for the best poster in tourism/heritage at the 2019 SfAA Annual Meeting.

Of course, there are so many more outstanding accomplishments to recognize. This issue of “Good News” provides an overview of the research, scholarship, and teaching that our students, staff and faculty perform in service to local, state, and national communities over the past half year. Congratulations to all and wishing you all the best for great summer.
